Malware found in eight Steam games stole cryptocurrency and account tokens
Several games on Steam were reportedly found to contain harmful software that can quietly steal login details and digital currency from people who installed them. The discovery suggests some players may have been exposed simply by downloading and opening affected games.
Who is at risk
Anyone who recently downloaded or played lesser-known Steam games, especially people who store digital currency or saved payment information on the same device, is most at risk.
What to watch for
Watch for unexpected account sign-ins, missing digital funds, strange purchases, game updates you did not expect, or your computer acting unusually after installing a Steam game.
What to do
Immediately uninstall any suspicious recently downloaded Steam games, run a trusted full-device security scan, and change passwords for Steam, email, and financial or digital currency accounts from a clean device.
